Its hard to tell who the boos (and cheers) were for in the beginning as they introduced both the Kerry girls and the Bush girls at the same time. Certainly there were boos (and some cheers) for the Bush girls when they showed their pre-taped video speech.

Funny thing is they both were making one o those "get out and vote" speeches and not campaigning for their respective camps.

The entire show was filled with "get out and vote" style advertisment. I think it was P-Diddy who held up a a "vote or die" t-shirt during his time on the stage and the entire Outkast finale was stylized like a big political convention complete with banners that said "vote" and USA ballons dropping from the ceiling. Neither candidate was endorsed or dissed.

I was simply pleased that Stevie Wonder performed with Alicia Keys. I was dissappointed the Black Eyed Peas didn't perform though, unless I missed them.

It is sad- MTV only plays the same ten videos over and over again so all the nominees in most catagories were from this pool of ten or so videos. Lame!
